About Me:

Plastic and reconstructive surgery is a marriage between form and function. My goal is to restore my patients self-confidence, whether through cosmetic or reconstructive procedures, so that my patients can look, feel, and function at their best. I take pride in providing comprehensive plastic and reconstructive surgery care in a safe and compassionate manner. My areas of expertise range from gender affirming procedures to breast and pelvic reconstruction. I feel highly privileged and find satisfaction in being able to help my patients during such an important time in their lives. I also have specific interests in facial rejuvenation, aesthetic surgery of the breast, and cosmetic and functional procedures after massive weight loss. I my free time, I enjoy skiing, hiking with my family, and cooking.

Dr. Thakar performed surgery on me. She saved my life. She's awesome, and I'm grateful that she's a gifted surgeon. These are routine post-op visits, and they are always positive.

I recommend them to anyone I know who is going to be getting the same surgery

The only downside to seeing Dr. Thakar is the long waiting time to get an appointment. That makes sense though considering most surgeons who provide trans related care also have long waiting periods. Dr. Thakar has extremely good bedside manner, checked in with me during the appointment to see if I was in pain or needed anything, and her team is excellent at communicating.

My provider was very thorough and informative. They were also sensitive to my needs and situation. The reception staff was super friendly and pleasant to interact with. I had an amazing experience and I'm going to recommend this doctor to my friends in need of this service.

Everyone was great and I really appreciated that every single person in the office was wearing a quality mask. It contributed a great deal to my comfort and sense of safety, and made me feel I was in conscientious and caring hands. I hope more offices keep doing this.

Trauma-informed care at Legacy's Community Clinic was some of the most effortful and effective that I've received over many years struggling with doctor's appointments. For things to go so smoothly, everyone needed to work together with me and support me through intense PTSD symptoms triggered by medical settings. I'm so grateful for everyone's patience, generosity of care, empathy, and understanding.
  Jan 18, 2024
Dr Thakar is very compassionate. She made me feel important and listened to my concerns.

Dr. Thakar and the whole Legacy gender care team are incredible! It's rare to have such professional skill, medical expertise, unwavering respect, and warm bedside manner/friendly demeanor all in one package, but Dr. Thakar nails it. I would recommend this team to absolutely anyone needing gender care or anything else Dr. Thakar can help with.
  Dec 01, 2023
Dr. Thakar is very kind, charismatic, and knowledgeable. I never had any doubts or worries about her capabilities or being in her care. She and her team have been an absolute pleasure to work with.
